No shade to any band in particular, but I’m finding the modern goth music scene to be getting pretty stale. Every darkwave release feels interchangeable with each other, and while there are contemporary bands in goth/goth-adjacent niches and genres that I really love and find super interesting, a lot of them don’t really stimulate me in the way that a lot of older bands do (which makes perfect sense, those bands weren’t following a mould of what goth music should be - if anything they were trying to escape those conventions so it resulted in goth music that has a lot of uniqueness to it). So I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of contemporary/active goth bands to support that feel like they’re doing something distinguishable and unique I’d love to hear them!

I’ve got so much beautiful footage on my Sony Handycam DCR-HC85e on a tape that I’m really proud of and I’m trying to transfer it to my Mac (2025 MacBook Pro), and I’ve got a daisy chain of a fire wire adaptor, thunderbolt 2 and then thunderbolt 3 plugged into my camcorder and my mac respectively. When I first plugged it all in my Mac came up with a notification about connecting a FireWire device which I thought was a good sign, and clicked allow, hoping that if I were to go on Finder I’d see it connected and therefore be able to import my footage through iMovie etc. however my camcorder isn’t listed as a connected device even when it’s properly plugged in, and I’ve also been having so many problems with playback on my camcorder to the point where when I go to Play/Edit it’s like I haven’t even recorded anything on that tape when it’s literally full of content. Im feeling so disheartened because I was so proud of what I had accomplished and the amount of money I had spent on the camera, tapes, cables and discontinued adaptors only to have it not work has taken a big toll. If anyone bas any advice on how I can resolve this and import the footage I recorded then I’d appreciate it so so so much, some once in a lifetime shots are on that tape and I’ll be damned if I lose them
